This study explores the life cycle dynamics of mosquitoes under varied environmental conditions, focusing on how factors such as temperature, humidity, water quality, and habitat types influence mosquito development, survival rates, and population dynamics. Key findings reveal that higher temperatures can accelerate mosquito development but also increase mortality rates, while moderate humidity levels favor mosquito survival and activity. Water quality and habitat types significantly impact mosquito reproduction and development. Mosquitoes' adaptation strategies to environmental changes, including genetic, behavioral, and physiological adaptations, demonstrating their high responsiveness to temperature fluctuations and habitat changes. Climate change, particularly changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, profoundly impacts mosquito life cycles and distribution. Unique insights from the case studies in tropical, temperate, and urban versus rural environments provide a comprehensive understanding of how specific environmental conditions influence mosquito populations. This study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of mosquito life cycle dynamics that can aid in the development of more effective vector control strategies.
